So today is Dr Suess' birthday and the schools are doing all types of celebrations including drawing contests, writing contests and dress up contests. In the past Cade has dressed like Horton and last year Addy was a make shift "Thing 1". This year, I just simply had no time or energy to get real creative. I said "guys I'm sorry but I'm not doing it, I'm not stressing over it, fighting about it, etc, I'm just not doing the whole dress up thing". We did talk about printing out quotes to tape to you each but I even forgot to print those out at work.
Big fail.
Or so I thought!
This morning as we were getting ready to get out the door Addy created a "costume"
One fish
Two fish
Red fish
Blue fish
You go girl - take that smile of yours, your awesome fish and go celebrate like only you can do!!
So maybe I failed a little as "super mom" with the no costume deal but I'll consider it a WIN for instilling some independence and supporting creativity.
